Thanks!

I actually did 8cm according to Dr Sarin measurement on the table before frame removal.

I am doing good, thanks. My only issue is ballerina and I guess this is one of the issues that delays recovery. I currently have something like around 4cm ballerina but I am working very hard to fight them. Walking walking and walking on top of my daily PT.

Thanks for the info regarding the hydrolic nail.

Ballerina usually goes down by itself. I find jogging helps with my ankle agility. Good to hear that you achieve your goal.

Would you consider another femur operation? Or it's too early to tell? Keep in touch!

Chapter 3 Loss of Sex Drive

It was 10pm at night in August and I was taking this chic home who I met several hours ago at a bakery shop. I must have impressed her a lot that day. I did the usual as I have done hundred of times in the past when I take a girl out on a date. I would them to the beach to see the sunset, cross the bridge to see the ocean view, and if we have time, I would take them up to the mountain. There with the full-view of the city, I would tell a story about my journey in India and how every lunch-time I would cross the bridge to go to my ex girlfriend former workplace for lunch.

At that moment when I take my current date home, she asked me for a farewell hug. I reached over to reach her, but I guessed she wanted something more. She stared into my eyes, and told me, "it's alright." I asked it's alright what. She said it's alright that I can kiss her. But I didn't feel interested and I couldn't get started. That was the typical relationship which I had since I came back home. My interest for women has really wane off completely. I met three women since I came back and my relationship with all of them ended badly. After that I decided it's better to lead the life of being single. The 8 seconds of pleasure is not worth the 8 hours of bull .

Oh, and another significant thing I have done since I came back was to visit my ex girlfriend's former workplace. It's a cafe shop in downtown between Robson and Jervis. When I go there, it feels like how she has describe it to me back in February. I guess there is something in life which is really hard to let go.

Here a video I made today at the gym. I want to contribute something to this forum and its member.

I tried to do some martial art but felt a little bit awkward since I have no formal training in this field.

Background: Office Clerk
Height: 5'6 (written on my driver license) but 5'10.5 in the video (5'9 + 1 inche nike shoes + .5 insole)

It seems like I have lanky legs. But keep in mind that I am wearing very short shorts and I place the camera on the ground shooting upward.

Thanks a lot for the video. I wish more people would show post-op videos of themselves. How do your legs feel when going on the treadmill? Do you get any shin pain at all after a while or do your legs feel normal?

I am positively surprised by your latest video.
You look proportional. And you can even stand and lift weights. That is impressive to be frank.

Keep pushing the limits, thats how you get stronger.

Regarding the sex issues, I think it's just that you are not ready yet to go on with your life. You still have feelings for your ex. It takes time, but eventually you will find a new girl.

Smallguy, that video was boss!  You look so natural to me, and your proportions look great.   How do your legs feel after having that kind of workout?

Regarding sex drive, is everything working fine down there?    (that's legitimately one of my biggest fears)

No pain. I can kick a tree trunk now if I want... so they just feel normal.

I think my biggest issue is just trying to get my ankle strength back. That's why I find doing jumping jacks or skipping ropes would help.

Thanks! It will be your turn soon. I look forward to reading your own LL journey.

I don't feel anything. The only thing that stops me from running longer is my heart beats too quickly and I'm out of breath. Otherwise, I do feel some discomfort in my ankle and quad muscle but that doesn't stop me from going farther.

lol.... I guess everyone's post LL problem is different. Luckily I don't have knee-pain or any other pain.

I think I'm getting a little impatient with girls, which is a crucial element if you want to date them. If my interest ever comes back, I will try to solve this problem. These days, if I can squeeze into a pair of tight jean, I'm sexually satisfied

First of all, really amazing video, nice work, and nice recovery! Looking forward to more in the future.

I have to respectfully disagree with the people saying you look proportional though. You don't look like a freak or anything, so don't worry about that, but it's pretty obvious that your knees are higher up than most people's and that your femurs are a bit short, it's especially easy to see when you bend your knees. With regards to your upper body/sitting height vs leg length proportions it's a bit hard to say if you look proportionate or not unless we know your exact measurements and see a whole body photo.

And before anyone says it - of course it might very well be the case that most people not aware of limb lengthening wouldn't really see anything weird at all unless they already knew. With LL it's always a question of proportions vs overall height. In the end what matters most is what you're comfortable with.

If you lengthen your femurs your femur/tibia ratio will obviously look more natural, but then you risk that stilty look where your upper body and sitting height are too short and that might be really obvious and you'd have to begin compensating for your off proportions with various clothing tricks. Personally I don't think I would do it.

You have beautiful long legs that only the most discriminating LL enthusiasts would notice anything off about.

That was nice. I wish I had such a nice gym to go to.

I've been trying to record a video for 2 months now
